Gardner - Fly Trap Indoor for Home, Fruit Fly Trap for Indoors, Plug in Bug Catcher, Gnat Traps for House Indoor, Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors, Made in USA, Flyweb (Grey)

UPDATE 2/13/17 - I love this product. Just bought my fourth lamp. I gave one away, have one on the covered porch and one indoors. After the no-seeum infestation subsided post nearby road construction completion, we now have a swarm of visiting mosquitoes, something new to this neighborhood. I am changing the porch glue card every two or three days since it gets practically full of mosquitoes and a few other flying insects since the first night in use. This product is unbelievable and there is no mess to clean. I will now call the Mosquito Control Department in hopes that they will treat the area. I definitely recommend this product. While mosquitoes do not usually enter the house, the no-see-ums do stick around the door to enter, uninvited! END OF UPDATE.ORIGINAL PROBLEM AND NEED FOR THE LAMPS: The Westerly winds this year have sent a swarm of no-see-ums flying into our homes. It appears the insects' larvae was disrupted with Turnpike construction and they decided to nest our way. This lamp worked great since day one when it caught twenty-five no-see plus mosquitos and even an ant in just a few hours in the covered porch. They are so tiny that can penetrate the screens. I then placed the lamp inside the house. It caught another twenty-five the first day, but from then on the lamp attracts an average of 10 daily. Their bite is worst than the mosquito's and it lasts and lasts. It is horrible! I have to use home made repellents all day long and - small as they are - they can bite through clothing. Hopefully, they should be gone soon. I threw away most of my outdoor plants and have been fumigating outside, but none of that has helped. They visit the laptop screen but are hard to catch. Before I learned about the lamp, my legs had a horrible rash from the bites, even though I did not scratch for fear of an infection, particularly since I was using a blend of citronella essential oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil and alcohol (the recipe called for vodka). I spray that below the laptop desk and on my legs. I do not know I could have coped without this lamp. Thedownside is the price of the glue boards.UPDATEI have used the lamp (I have two) for a few months now and it does attract and kill no-see-ums inside/outside the house. It is not for outdoors; however, I have a covered porch where I install it on/off. While there, it attracts mainly no-see-ums, but it has caught a mosquito or two, flying moths, and other nocturnal insects. The most important thing is to close the doors quickly upon entering/exiting the house. Since the initial "kill," I only get visited inside once a week or even less; thus, I have removed the lamp. The unit usually catches the culprit after a good meal, though. I am glad I came across this lamp and don't think that any other one could do a better job. It only works with glue cards since they are attracted to the light (black light) and end up stuck in the glue card. I no longer have the lamp in the porch since the no-see-ums from hell population has diminished and I do not want to attract any ones left to my house.>>For this reason, they sell the Flowtron lamps (just bought one) that is to be placed a few feet away from the house. Not to be used inside (search for black light dangers on the internet). The outdoors Flowtron lamp should be placed a few feet away from people and there should not be any visual contact with the lamp for...eye-safety reasons.<<UPDATE: 4/24/2015 - The no-see-ums are gone now. For good...? Who knows.... I have spent hundreds of dollars on chemicals and natural products to get rid of these insects from hell or to soothe the itch, or to avoid infection; however, my two FlyWeb FlyTrap lamps were the ones that helped me the most. Indoors, it got rid of the initial invisible invasion, and kept attracting the ones that kept coming inside the house as the doors opened. They did their job for about one year. The outdoors one may have contributed to the extermination and/or possible relocation of the flying beasts. During the heavy infestation outdoors, the 3x5 glue card would catch hundreds INSIDE my covered porch in just three to four days. If they should return, I will probably need to buy new bulbs since they are said to last one year or so.For those who wrote claiming to have dozens of them inside their house, some recovering from an illness - adding to their health problems - I can attest to the fact that the lamps work (not to be exposed to the weather at all). What do no-see-ums look like? Some are so tiny that can only be detected with a jewler's loupe. Under a magnifying glass, they look just like a mosquito - with long legs and wings. I only knew what was biting me when one landed on my laptop and I was able to get it with Scotch tape. By then it was too late, my legs were showing the red dots and welts they left behind. At that point, I began searching the net for solutions and this lamp proved to be the best. UPDATE: I guess the hurricane winds brought us a swarm of no-see-ums but, thanks to this magic lamp they are gone from inside the house snf I do not see them outside either. It took me a week to get rid of them since they lay lots of eggs. Not having any inside plants or water deposits; having the lamp catching them (the easiest method to kill them compared to other products I bought); using safe bug lotions on body; turning the fans on and the air conditioning very low... In the end, they disappeared. Inhospitable, they said on the way out.

Yes, as I just finished this review I can admit, it’s long. But unlike online comments, it’s not misspelled and is written in fully formed sentences. And contains advice.(Nutshell version: worked well for me).I can’t explain why any products works for some and not for others - all I can say about this particular fly catcher is it worked really well when I found areas of my home were overrun with small flies due to a well meaning gift of plants that turned out to have been their home before relocating to mine.I mean it was a mess and like nothing I had ever had to deal with before…They became noticeable during the next day (fairly dormant at night and in colder weather) and the appearance of the *tiniest* flies I had ever witnessed confirmed my fear that they had in fact been born once coming inside 😳😳😳.Choose Amazon due to being a bit house bound after an injury and others unable to offer in stock + same day delivery.*** NOTE: READ EVERY PRODUCT’S SPECIFIC INSECT COMPATIBILITY CAREFULLY - many UV fly ‘traps’ work on fruit flies, NOT house flies, so be sure to take the time find one that specifically lists house flies as one of the intended targets.This was one of a few different types of fly-murder-products that I ordered in a bit of a “multi-weapon” approach, along with the old school (yellow) hanging fly stick (not strip) & one that worked with a liquid solution.Unlike some of the other unfortunate reviews I’ve read, I have not had any issues with the UV light burning out/dying and I’ve had 2 of them plugged in 24/7 for the last 17 days. I plugged one in by the kitchen sink and one in a low wall outlet near pet food. Decided to keep them going as a preventative measure after the overwhelming majority had been eradicated with the help of all 3 different products. (The old school fly stick - again STICK, not hanging strips - worked like a real champ too if cost is a factor). I didn’t get extra glue boards with the order but once the initial ones were full I placed the fly sticks right next to the lights for a while as all of the items worked to eradicate the virtual swarm that was discovered on 6/7. I even made a board covered with double sided extra adhesive tape that worked well, if not as well as the original included with the UV light.Hopefully my photos will upload with no issues (haven’t tried yet) so you can see the amount of flies caught. Flies are also attracted to non UV’s, like the light of a phone, as I’ve discovered recently. Having been rid of the accidental swarm for a while, I’m now keenly aware of even a single fly being anywhere inside. Almost none of the flies caught with particular product were anywhere near full or even half sized. I think I genuinely saw one adult size among any of the items, which was perhaps the “Aliens” style mother trying to crank out offspring before I could play Ripley and mow them down.So, who is to say why there are 5 ⭐️ and 1 ⭐️ reviews of the same item? All I know is mine worked as advertised, and I empathize with those who didn’t have the same luck.If you’re facing a real situation/feeling overrun you may want to try my shotgun approach and go with a few different types of products, see what works best. I’m going to get a pack of the glue boards to keep on hand and see how long the bulb lasts. In the desert/horse property areas of Las Vegas they will be used preventatively all summer.

I live in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and houseflies, blow flies, and bottle flies are simply everywhere here, all the time, and never cease to annoy me every time I want to go outside and enjoy the lanai. Thus, I am forever in search of the next/latest/greatest devices to catch and kill flies. Some, such as the Victor Fly Magnet and Rescue! Fly Trap work very well, but use a foul smelling bait to lure the flies in and thus aren't suitable to have indoors or even within 25 feet of people when outdoors. Others, such as my Hoont flying insect zapper lure bugs in through the use of an ultraviolet light, which apparently houseflies aren't particularly attracted to and thus are ineffective for my purposes. Electrified bug swatters that look like tennis racquets are fun and work, but you can only get a couple here and there. Same with the Bug-a-Salt gun (I own two), works well and is LOTS of fun, but not enough kills to really help. I am always looking for passive traps, things I can just put out and will kill flies all day and night without me having to spend much time tending to them.After doing some online research, it turns out that houseflies are attracted to the colors black and blue, and frankly why this information has been incorporated in all the fly-killing devices yet is beyond me (everything I see tends to be yellow in color) but I was happy to find at least this ONE fly trap that doesn't use horrible orders or chemicals to attract flies, is noiseless, and uses a bluer light as an attractant (the description only says it's a UV light, but it's definitely more blue than my Hoont UV zapper). Hoping this would be the answer I've been looking for in the way of an indoor-use, silent fly killer, I purchased it and a 10-pack of replacement boards. As soon as I saw a fly in the house I set it up in the corner, instructed my wife to not kill the fly, and waited. Initially I could see the fly buzzing around and generally ignoring this fly trap, but it was in the middle of the day and I had it plugged in right next to several large windows that were even brighter than this thing at the time (the instructions tell you to put it away from competing light sources, but like all men I ignore instructions). I pretty much forgot about it for the rest of the day and then checked on it the next morning - PAY DIRT! Not only did it snag the annoying housefly at some point, it also swallowed up 7 or so smaller black flying things (gnats? Fruit flies? I'm not sure) as a bonus. Here is a picture of the glue board after having the device plugged in for the first 24 hours of ownership. So while I feel it's a tad expensive for simply being a light with a glue board behind it, it DID work to attract and kill a fly, so I'm pretty happy with it. It's bright, but we also keep it downstairs near the kitchen so it doesn't bother us at night. I suspect it'll be most effect at dawn and dusk, when flies are still active and it's the brightest thing around so I can probably leave it unplugged for most of the day, put it in around 6:00 p.m., and then remove it after breakfast for maximum effectiveness. I wish it simply had an on/off switch instead of having to plug it in and out, but that's a minor quibble. Although stated for indoor use only, I will probably try to put it outside on our covered porch for a day or two and see how many flies it grabs then. Updated pic to come perhaps? Any anyone with a good fly-killing device, please let me know!

I was sitting at my pc one evening being driven crazy by several flies that had managed to get into the house earlier in the day. I went on a buying binge on amazon and bought several anti fly devices including an electrified racket, toy gun with rotating wheel, outside flytraps, this web fly trap etc. etc.The electrified rackets are good fun, but really not so effective against really small fruit flies - more useful if a big fly has just made it past the patio mesh defenses and you need to a quick kill before it eventually finds the UV light and sticky paper of this web fly trap.I must say that this system is amazingly effective to the point where the racket and toy fly gun are hardly ever used now due to the lack of flies in the house. This system catches flies both big and small and my guess is that any fly that has made it into the house will most likely be dead by the next morning.We keep a plastic bin in the kitchen for collecting our vegetable and fruit peelings before dumping them in the garden com-poster outside and so have always had a low level problem with the small fruit flies. Now there are no more fruit flies in the house. They have all committed mass suicide on the sticky pad behind the UV light.I did a dumb thing a couple of weeks ago (since the first device was working so well) and bought a second one of these and placed it at the other end of the house. So far the second device has only two small fruit flies after a weeks work of operation. Problem is the first unit in the kitchen has been so effective in exterminating the flies.Also of interest is that I plugged this system into the outlet in our kitchen which sits approx 12" above the cream tile on our kitchen floor and optimally next to the kitchen door. So sometimes early in the morning a find some small creepy crawlies sitting below this unit on the tile and in the light of the UV lamp. My next plan is to place a small sticky pad on the tile just below the uv lamp to catch them. I'll update you on how this works out.Recommendation is - go with one of these units and perhaps add and an electrified racket for the quick kill of a recently entered fly.The final thought is that it might make a good science project for a school kid - track the number and types of flies caught at the end of each day. Just pull out the paper and map the flies on the sticky paper. For our house I see ~ 60% small fruit flies, 25% lace wings and 10% house flies and 5% others.May 2012 Update:Both of my fly traps are working well. What a great product.

In my never ending war against mosquitoes, the enemy had recently made advances to invade my humble 650 sq ft one bedroom home base. They had encroached so far into my territory that conventional anti-mosquito weaponry was ineffective. So I scoured the internet for an effective weapon to take down these suckers. Behold, the WMD of mosquito traps - Fly Web Fly Trap!At first I wasn't sure if the enemy was invading through the bedroom or the living room, so I kept the trap in the bedroom for over 6 hours and no suckers sprung the trap. So I decided to move it to my living room and keep it on overnight while I slept.In the first night I caught 4 small mosquitoes, so I celebrated with a cheer! I unplugged the trap in the daytime as the daylight wouldn't allow the sinister blue glow of the trap (a nice nightlight) to be seen and the vampiric suckers slept in the day anyway.On the eve of the second night, I plugged in my trap with great confidence. 9 hours later, lo and behold, a dozen more mosquitoes of varying sizes were stuck onto the trap and a couple of more got zapped by the bulb and fell to their death within the base of the trap. Celebration occurred with a beer! There was some collateral damage of fruit flies, and strange bugs I did not recognize.Since the great turning point of the war six nights ago, I've plugged in the trap every night and unplugged it the next morning. The number of mosquitoes trapped has been gradually decreasing, which I attribute to the trap wiping out their population. There have also been a number of collateral casualties of flies and a ladybug. But hey, that's what a WMD does right?If I were to do it all over again, I would have brought out the big guns a lot earlier in the season. So now I lick my wounds and rest easy, knowing that the Fly Web Fly Trap will protect my base with lethal force. As the trap is filling up fast, I've since bought replacements to reload my trap when the time comes (Fly Web Glue Board 10 Pack).I only wish this product had a simple on/off switch as unplugging the device is troublesome. I don't like keeping anything connected to my electrical sockets on when I'm not home. But the joy of changing from prey to hunter makes this trap 5 stars in my book.Update 12/5/2013: My apartment is now generally bug free. It was so effective I bought one for my mother's house too. I forgot to mention that I fixed the on/off switch problem by buying the GE 52149 Handy Switch Grounded White. It's easy to use, cheap and very durable as well.Update 8/20/2014: Over a year later and this baby still works (did not replace the bulb yet)! I've upgraded to a 1200 sq ft place surrounded by trees where all the power sockets are installed sideways (annoying!). Although the trap now sits sideways, the ol Fly Web Fly Trap vigilantly protects the bigger space with the same vigor and ruthlessness. Also, I now have an adult cat guarding my home, and she never get bothered by the mosquito trap lighting up the living room.

I was overwhelmed by the negative reviews on all products of this nature on Amazon. So, I asked my parents what they used, and it was this one. They absolutely love it, and I am quite impressed, as well. It does its job! Gnats of some sort just started showing up after 7 years of us living in this house (no indoor plants, no pets). This device keeps them in check.My ONLY complaint is in regards to this black one, specifically. It looks great in our house (where we have black accents, not white). But, while it comes with a single black sticky panel in the box, I cannot find (at least on their Amazon store) where black replacements are available for purchase. At night, since the replacement is white, the reflection shines too brightly for us. Where can black sticky panels be purchased?? Thanks for a great product.The sticky panels are easy to change out. On a wall outlet that has a total of 4 plugs, the device is a bit too wide, and halfway covers the plugs next to it. As I have only had this bug lamp for a month and a half, I have not yet had to change a bulb.

first thing you will notice is the price. It seems unneccassarily high for what this is. It is your average everyday glue trap you can buy $3-$4 per dozen for at almost any store. Second thing you will notice, Is it comes with 1 trap. You would think that at almost $40 they would supply a few more. The third thing you will notice, it does not firmly secure to most electric outlets. What would be so wrong with putting a screw slot in it to hold it still. next thing you will notice is its BRIGHT, very Bright. if you have ever seen an outdoor bugzapper light, This one is only about half that size and just as bright. It also appears to be the same light or something similar. Seems to mee that there are plenty of other more cost effective options options out there that would be good enough which may bring the cost down. The last thing You may notice is, it is ALWAYS ON, therefore using electricity constantly and drawing attention to it so that your friends and family ask ALL sorts of questions about "what that thing is", and don't even think about putting this thing in a room where you sleep if you can't sleep with the lights on. You will probably wake up with a tan.That all being said...This product seems to work, especially at night when all the rest of the lights are off in the house. we have 3 mostly outside dogs and 6 kids and flies tend to follow them all in the house, This helps alot, especially because I absolutley DESPISE flies. If you dont mind dropping $40 for this product-$10 for 10 ea. additional traps- another $10 for replacent lights- and $? for the constant use of electricity then its not a bad little product. I'm sure someone out there is hard at making a more cost effective, improved product and I hope it will be out soon.

Edit: 8/2/2025 caught 4 flies. So revising this from 2 stars to 4 stars. This is in addition to catching a lot of gnats. Gets the job done. Only draw back, it only comes with 1 sticky pad. Should come with at least 3 or 5.July 31:Had this one day so far. First impressions: feels sturdy, built well. Light is nice and bright. Caught two gnats. But bought this to capture house flies. One fly today just sat next to it. Didn’t move. It’s like he was getting a tan and chilling. If it manages to capture at least two flies over the next few days, I’ll revise my rating.

This is an awesome product for keeping flies from taking over the attic.

Great product! Obviously works best at night but it has done its job well.

We live rurally and struggle with flies in the house. I have been using window traps for ages with moderate success, so thought that I'd give this a try since the commercial models are over $300. Ad says it has CDN certification, and it does on the box, but the device does not, so it doesn't meet CDN standards. The light wiggles terribly in the housing and is turned to the side. It does seem to attact flies though and has helped the overall number in our house, but I wouldn't buy this particular one again. Quality control seems to be lacking and the lack of CDN certification marks makes me nervous.

Works great until it craps out. The bulb consistently flashes and quits.
